What martial arts style is this?

I am self trained in the martial arts. I am use a traditional street fighting stance with both fists clenched. I attack the body using Tiger Style Kung Fu. I attack the head and slower style opponents with Praying Mantis Kung Fu. I grab the opponent using Hapkido techniques. I kick using low Muay Thai Kickboxing kicks. I combo using Jeet Kun Do techniques. I mainly attack using palms, backhands, and elbows. I switch stances based upon martial art and sometimes use Jeet Kun Do stance. I believe in the philosophy of Hwarangdo and Jeet Kun Do. What martial art is similar? Hwarango? Jeet Kun Do? Yunwharyu? Something else? Or is my combination style completely original?

What martial arts style is this?
Your style seems a bit original, but I study Ketsugo Jitsu (founded by Grand Master Roberto Kennedy) and we combine ten different arts in our style...so maybe what you are doing has been done....but I am very sure your combination is unique...you should try out a few school near, most offer a free class, or week so give them a shot go and watch classes, talk to students and teachers, maybe you can find out what in your style really works and what doesn't. Hope I could help...and good luck with you art...send me some video some time I am really curious about it.
Reply:More like mixed martial arts, you are focusing on the strengths of each style. Using just one style has its weaknesses and by being an all around fighter makes you more adaptable in any situation.
Reply:umm shouldnt jeet kune do not have a specific stance since its a philosophy on doing what works for you?





i dont think being self trained is a good idea though.





anyways its not a specific style you're using elements from different styles meaning you can call it vale tudo, mma, jeet kune do any art that pretty much says win with whatever you know
Reply:I think your putting too much into it rely on the kiss method taught to me in usmc bootcamp Keep it simple stupid, all those Chinese arts are good for competition and sparring but if you desire to really be able to defend yourself and fight learn some wresteling, Jujitsu/Judo mui thi and you will do much better also scrap the self teaching learn from a pro! If you can not fight on the ground in a streetfight or mma match your F*****!!!!!
Reply:Ok, you have combined techniques from a half dozen existing styles. How does that make it an original style? Mixing orange juice, apple juice, and cranberry juice might make a good drink, but it doesn't make a new fruit.





I believe every martial artist should strive to learn from different styles and use the techniques that are most effective for them while learning how to defend against their own weaknesses. In that you have done a good thing, but mixing techniques from different martial arts isn't an original idea, and that doesn't make it an original style. Overall the philosophy you describe is more like Jeet Kun Do, absorb what is useful.
